So, if it says the former it should be from pre-1936 and if the latter, post 1936.

Plus, even after the logo changed they probably kept on using the old labels until they’d run out so the presence of a certain logo is no guarantee of date.

These are ball park dates that we’ve extrapolated from the Burton suits we have seen.

Sometimes it is obvious from the style when it was made – you couldn’t mistake a 70s suit for anything else – but the logo should always be the first point of call.

This is by no means comprehensive, and to be honest without going back in time you can’t be sure when the different logos were in use.

This doesn’t seem to be perfectly consistent, however, as there seems to be a fuzzy period of overlap in the late 30s (possibly the firm using up old label stock?
